Linux kernel

applies to

• upgrading kernel versions

instructions

This depends on how you've installed the rndis module.

usb-rndis-* packages

• rebuild the package according to your original installation instructions.

kernel patch

• patch your new kernel. The [http://synce.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/synce/trunk/patches/linux-2.6.22-rndis_host-wm5.patch linux-2.6.22-rndis_host-wm5.patch] also works for 2.6.23 kernels

• run make && make modules && sudo make modules_install

Following updating your kernel, you need to either reboot, or reload the modules (order is important):

• {{{sudo modprobe -r rndis_host cdc_ether usbnet

sudo modprobe cdc_ether usbnet rndis_host }}}
